New Testament 2 Timothy 2 Timothy 1
King
James Version
1 Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 To Timothy, my dearly
beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus
our Lord. 3 I thank God, whom I
serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have
remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; 4 Greatly desiring to see
thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5 When I call to
remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy
grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 6 Wherefore I put thee in
remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the
putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given
us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be not thou therefore
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God; 9 Who hath saved us, and
called us with an holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in
Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 But is now made
manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11 Whereunto I am
appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12 For the which cause I
also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not
ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to
keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13 Hold fast the form of
sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in
Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which
was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which
dwelleth in us. 15 This thou knowest, that
all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and
Hermogenes. 16 The Lord give mercy
unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed
of my chain: 17 But, when he was in
Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. 18 The Lord grant unto him
that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he
ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. 2 Timothy 2
King
James Version
2 Thou
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that
thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful
men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure
hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth
entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who
hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he
strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that
laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in all things. 8 Remember that Jesus
Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 Wherein I suffer
trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10 Therefore I endure all
things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which
is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 It is a faithful
saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall
also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet
he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14 Of these things put
them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about
words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and
vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat
as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the
truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow
the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the
foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that
are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of
Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house
there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of
earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore
purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and
meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful
lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call
on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and
unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the
Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing
those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure
will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may
recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by
him at his will. 2 Timothy 3
King
James Version
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers
of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural
affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of
those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away. 6 For of this sort are
they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins,
led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and
never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and
Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt
minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed
no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also
was. 10 But thou hast fully
known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity,
patience, 11 Persecutions,
afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what
persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will
live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and
seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in
the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom
thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child
thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given
by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may
be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 4
King
James Version
4 I
charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge
the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be
instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long
suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come
when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall
they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn
away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all
things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of
thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to
be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but
unto all them also that love his appearing. 9 Do thy diligence to
come shortly unto me: 10 For Demas hath forsaken
me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica;
Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me.
Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is
profitable to me for the ministry. 12 And Tychicus have I
sent to Ephesus. 13 The cloke that I left
at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but
especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the
coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 15 Of whom be thou ware
also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. 16 At my first answer no
man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid
to their charge. 17 Notwithstanding the
Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me
the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and
I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord shall
deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve
me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 19 Salute Prisca and
Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus abode at
Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. 21 Do thy diligence to
come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and
Claudia, and all the brethren. 22 The Lord Jesus Christ
be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. |
